Contrast this with ur peers who joined other companies, govt ministries, stat boards after grad, in their 4th to 5th year they would b hitting at least 5k-6k/mth salary. This is in addition to losing out to those 4yrs+ of additional salary +bonus.... Ur annual salary will only catch up at the end of ur LAE, maybe 8th yr or so??

If u r young n single, passionate abt aviation it is ok la... But if u r attached, looking to settle down soon I suggest not going into this.... Sometimes, passion dun pay u much in sg...

If u can, consider switching to another course that u r interested in....

If not, after grad u can consider signing on uniformed services like airforce, navy, scdf, cnb, ica, customs... Those roles starting salary already high $3k+..... Make sure u think of other alternative career paths before u grad.... If u r interested I can share u with more on telegram @jeffrey745....
Damn honestly that sounds like a pretty tough path to go down since i'm already 23 this year, having to wait another 8 whole years after graduation to catch up to my peers in other sectors doesn't sound really appealing tbh, currently don't have any plans to start a family soon but ideally I would still want a relatively high paying job since my parent are getting old in age so I would love for them to retire soon. I've actually heard somewhere that LAEs can earn quite a bit through OTs, is there any truth in that? as for the signing on part i'm still 50/50 on that since I really hated the working culture while i was in NS so i'm still thinking on it.
